The Division Becomes Fastest Selling Title In Ubisoft’s History

Today, Ubisoft announced that Tom Clancy’s The Division has sold through more copies in its first 24 hours of availability than any previous title in the company’s history.

[DarkOcelet]

I really want to say 'Congrats Ubisoft, you earned it' but i feel like its another overhyped Ubisoft title.

[hells_supernova]

Yes I completely agree.

It is fun do not get me wrong and I really enjoyed the beta on PC, but I just cannot justify the purchase.

[Ricegum]

You can't justify the purchase? Why? You just said you really enjoyed the beta lol, isn't that justification?

[hells_supernova]

Yes I enjoyed it but the cost of entry is too much for what seems like a game that will become a grind very quickly it was fun early on but as you progress like any mmo the progression become tedious.

Same issue with Destiny.

[Shiken]

Thing is though, it is not the same as Destiny. They follow a similar concept, but the Division delivers on things Destiny should have from the start. If this kind of multiplayer action is something one is interested in, this game delivers.

And this is based on actual retail experience, not premature conclusions based off of a beta.

[TFJWM]

Well it really depends on how long it takes till it gets tedious...How long does a game need to give you enjoyment till you can justify the purchase?

[-Foxtrot]

It is. Playing it and it's nothing special. Didn't buy it though thankfully just borrowing

Great now they are going to most likely invest more in online only titles

[freshslicepizza]

from their point of view online only isn't a problem and guess what? it isn't going by the amount of systems out there connected.

does that mean i wouldn't want the ability to play offline? of course but i can see why the direction to stay connected is tempting for them.

[Ricegum]

I find it funny that the people who are saying it isn't great are the people who don't have it, or are apparently "playing a friend's copy" or something.

[LamerTamer]

@moldybread

They will lose some sales with the online requirement but they don't care. I won't buy it due to the requirement as I don't like MP and as such don't waste my money on a PSN+ subscription.

I don't see why there is not an OPTION to still play offline in SP mode. It makes no sense other than to have control of the expiration date when they eventually shut down the servers for the game. Without the online requirement you could play the SP mode forever, they don't want you doing that obviously.

[Ravenor]

You're borrowing a game that JUST got released, does your friend also suffer ADD?

@LamerTamer

WoW will shut down one day and I guarantee I and others have sunk more time and money into that than any other game out there. That's the nature of online titles. So why don't you pull up your big boy pants, and make an adult decision. Yours was to not play MP, or Purchase The Division. That's great, I on the other hand do play MP games, I did purchase The Division and I've enjoyed it thus far.

When the servers shut down (undoubtedly long after I've lost interest), it will make no difference. The game is about playing cooperatively, it's about the connected experience. People wanting an offline experience are asking for an option to have a cut down stripped out time with something. Not all products will be meant for you, that's life get a helmet.

[-Foxtrot]

@Ravenor

No his mother has cancer and she lives in London. He got the game and let me borrow it while he goes see her after she was taken to hospital for suffering with pains one night

Want me to go on?

Jeez people

[freshslicepizza]

@LamerTamer

i don't have the game so i can't really say why it requires online. my guess is it's a liveable world where they can add and fix things on the fly? or maybe they have a drop in and drop out feature for online or co-op?

in reality it likely has to do with this,

http://www.game-debate.com/...

[-Foxtrot]

Take it or leave it. I'm not going to take another one saying "Foxtrot" on it. Even if I did you'd probably still say "proves nothing".

It was from my instagram account but i'm not linking N4G to it.

Anyway continue having a fit over someone's opinion and if they have a game or not. How sad.

[Perjoss]

Its a pretty cool game, not amazing but good fun and they created a really impressive city environment.

[TwoForce]

Hey there, i'm just enjoy the game in my opinion. Well, the Division story is nothing new, but it's still enjoyable. More importantly, this one is much better than Destiny.

[zidane1341]

to you. this game is soooo fun, havent had this much fun this gen before. you probably havent even tried it. the graphics and gameplay are wonderful.

[Last_Boss]

I would kill for a new Socom, with this engine.

[Muzikguy]

I agree. They said this same thing for Watch Dogs and it's regarded as the fail of the generation. I want to see single player games succeed over these kinds. Yeah I thought the beta was all right, but I can see where it will get boring (fast) and I can see where they're trying to make more by selling expansions, skins, guns, customizations, and all the other stuff. Doesn't seem worth it to me.

[jamstorr86]

I think the game is great. Most of my friends pre ordered the game after the BETA. the suggests it wasn't hype that sold the game to them, but because they enjoyed playing a portion of the game and thought it worth investing in the rest. Obviously you don't like the game, never played it, or just have some sort of hate for ubisoft.

[showtimefolks]

can get to max level in 12-15 hours so great job UBI. you set out to create the next destiny and you have kind of succeeded

you guys who keep buying these are the same one complaining about yearly COD games

the division is an always online so basically DRM yet nothing but if another game tries to do it than double standards come to play

[hiredhelp]

Instead talking negative how about some positives..
For me im a brit ive always wanted to visit New York not your useral tourist attraction but the real NY if you get me.
What I loved about this game is way everything was scaled to feel like actual size You felt soo small in this big open city.
I do love the physix I thought siege was impressive this was better sure may not had certain things from the early build but hey every game gets optimised im sure if everything looked like 2012 could consoles run at 30fps could my R9 290X get between 45-60fps (AVG 55-60) NO..
I still love the game its fun lots to do differnt options thats without the hidden easter eggs and gun skills perks customisation.
The games good plus no ground breaking bugs for me.. Maybe odd server issues but to be expected as big hit MMO.

[Last_Boss]

You know what makes this game instanly better than Destiny? The fact that they have NPC's and they are in the world you run around in, to interact with. There is a huge sense of atmosphere to play off of. Customizing your PC, has a lot of depth. I just don't like the fact, that you can stand in front of others and block progress.

[WellyUK]

blame yourselves for over hyping games as it's no one else's fault that you put high expectations on a game.

[Neonridr]

meh, I'm enjoying it so far. Not extremely far in, so I can't give a full analysis. But I am having fun. I will be interested to see what happens when you reach the level cap and how much content there is to keep you interested.

[Utalkin2me]

@DarkOcelet

How many hours do you have invested into it?

[DarkOcelet]

None.

I didnt buy it. That is why i said, i feel its overhyped. Remind me of Destiny, people rushing to buy the game and turns out to be a disappointment later on.

[InTheZoneAC]

who exactly is overhyping it? I remember destiny getting hyped up by all media and bungie, but where's this so called hype coming from for The Division?

[DarkOcelet]

The Division has been overhyped since the day of its inception my friend.

[InTheZoneAC]

my friend,

I heard about the division years ago, but wasn't interested at all because I really had no idea what it was about and ubisoft was behind it. I tend to ignore any hype for their games, although I do enjoy several of them.

When I started watching beta videos and got involved in the beta myself I felt like it could be a good game with the possibility of getting old after a year, but if it has a strong content filled year then that's fine by me.

I'm enjoying it, probably have around 6-7 hours of playtime. Initially I was worried about map size and content, but it seems like the game is PLENTY BIG.

People may have been watching this game for years, but I don't see hype articles anywhere like I did destiny. I remember bungie/activision touting so many things you can do in game and their plans for the game when it did release, and so many things were lies. I don't see blanket statements or lies by ubisoft or trying to hype the game up anything more than what I've seen and played.

[derkasan]

I have a feeling it'll be the next Destiny.

[dead_pixels]

I like the premise, but I wouldn't be surprised if that turns out to be the case.

[EvilAsh]

Destiny now or back when it was first released?

[derkasan]

Now. It's got the potential to attract a ton of people and get ton of support.

[OutcastMosquito]

Now for sure. The game just needs more content like the taken King and it can easily be better.... Just don't hold your breath..

[CorndogBurglar]

So it'll be a game that literally millions of people are still playing a year from now and who have put in hundreds, if not 1,000 hours of time into?

Sounds good to me.

[starchild]

Yeah, that would be a huge success to be like Destiny.

[JasonKCK]

The Divisions demo had more content that Destiny :P

[BuffaloDill]

Yup, Ubisoft definitely earned it! Now let's hope the game lives up to expectations!

[Playable_Gamez]

Since when has Ubisoft earned anything? They have lied and deceived throughout this generation and they somehow deserve a successful launch with The Division? That's pretty sad if you ask me.

[Goldby]

Frist off Playable_Gamez Ubisoft Massive has only worked on 3 games. Assassin's Creed Revelations, Far cry 3 and Just Dance. before Developing Division.

This is ubisoft showing that they are starting to listen to the gamers. first Division, im guessing Assassins creed next year will be another hit, not so much wild land (too many tom Clancy games in one year)

Just becuase a game is part of the Ubisoft Family doesn't mean that all past hiccups and F**kups are on every company that Ubisoft owns.

Killer instinct was horrible at launch, so does that justify saying every Microsoft studio game is shit? i guess that means Quantum wont do very well.

To base everything off of history instead of what is in front of you wont help you in anything. yes you can relate to history, but dont base everything off of it.

[kraenk12]

All you Ubihaters are so annoying. They still deliver some of the most diverse and creative titles on the market and The Division is pretty damn close to what was promised.

[Kribwalker]

I agreed with you until you said killer instinct was horrible at launch. Killer instinct was fantastic at launch with near perfect netcode and enough content for a free game with a $20 option to buy everything

[zidane1341]

whats sad to me is your salty reply.

[JMPetrequin]

Nice sales for servers that don't work.

[n4rc]

Seem fine last night.. Streamers I was watching right after midnight all had disconnects but roommate played all night and never got dropped.

[Myze]

The servers were down for about 45 minutes right after the official launch. Before then, and since then, they have been working fine, at least for me and most others. That's pretty darn good for a new game. Destiny didn't have any issues, but that's not the norm for big online games.

The only real issue people have been having is that thing with the computer near the beginning, where some people aren't able to access it and some are lining up, etc. I didn't have the problem when I went through, but I could see it being aggravating. Other than that, the game seems to be really well done in terms of polish/bugs. Some people may be dropped from the servers every now and then, but that's true for almost any online game, and I don't see it being too bad with Division (even if it is, the game has only officially been out for about two days now).

Anyway, as for the topic, congrats to Massive. Not a big Ubi fan myself, but Ubisoft is just a publisher, I'm giving the props to the people that developed it. A lot of fun so far (and had a lot of fun in beta, too).

[kraenk12]

The game seems totally fine since ages.

[Playable_Gamez]

Ubisoft is the pro of marketing. They have yet to deliver this gen, but some how they know how to sale millions of games.

[starchild]

Or maybe not everyone agrees with you...

I've enjoyed quite a few Ubisoft games these past few years.

[Ricegum]

Maybe the Ubisoft haters are just a vocal minority, and perhaps a lot of people actually like some of the stuff they develop?

[SourtreeDing]

lmaoo

[Legion21]

They reveal their games with unrealistic vertical slices that look amazing which generates hype. I wouldn't say they haven't delivered with a good game but rather they haven't delivered on the trailers they sell people with. I usually like Ubisoft, but you can't say their marketing isn't a bit deceptive whether it's intentional or not.

[Ravenor]

It's absolutely intentional, but the OP's point of having yet to deliver? Maybe a bit extreme, Far Cry 4 wasn't quite FC3 but it was still a lot of fun.

[InTheZoneAC]

"sell".............

-watchdogs was fun, not sure what the hate was
-the crew wild run is a very fun game, still have to tighten up the sloppy default controls

waiting for splinter cell ps4 to come out, last one on ps3 was great

waiting for a ghost recon as well, as all were fun on ps3

[EvilAsh]

I don't get it man. Gamers are just jumping on and buying anything with hype now. No reviews on Metacritic and it's sold this much???

[Kalebninja]

Not everyone waits for reviews, just because a lot of people are interested in the game doesn't mean people are "just jumping on and buying anything"

[Legion21]

Reviews are generally the best way to educate people about a game. No, you shouldn't take what the reviewer says as fact but it gives consumers a feel if the game is worth their money. Trailers and gameplay videos can definitely be deceptive, I personally wait for some serious user and critical reviews to come up before jumping on a game unless it's a proven dev/franchise.

[n4rc]

Who gives a crap about metacritic? Your opinion means more then my own? (Not you, but anyone)

After plenty of time to play it through alpha and two betas, I'm picking it up tonight based on my time playing it.. Not some random persons opinion that could be the exact opposite of my own

[iistuii]

Exactly. I played the beta on my PC & it looked great & I really enjoyed my time with it. So I purchased it & I'm enjoying it as I knew I would after the beta time I spent with it. I don't need some reviewer to tell me what I like...

[one2thr]

I second that. Unfortunately, I have to wait til Friday to pick my copy up... Good thing I got the weekend off.

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

Not everyone cares about Metacritic

[MegaRay]

My favorite games have low scores on Metacritic, just saying.

[starchild]

With me it's mixed. Some of my favorite games have high metacritic scores, while some have low metacritic scores. Same goes for the movies I like. It just doesn't seem to have any strong correlation to what the group of reviewers on metacritic thinks.

[CorndogBurglar]

Your comment would have validity if there wasn't an Alpha and a Beta for this game that many people played before buying.

Screw Metacritic and any other reviewers. I'll take their opinions into account when a game hasn't been playable before launch. But I played The Division's beta and loved it. I didn't just blindly jump into anything. I knew exactly what to expect.

[Lon3wolf]

A lot of people played the Alpha/Betas and bought from making their own minds up by playing.

[-Foxtrot]

People are f****** gullible these days

[kraenk12]

You seem to have a hard time of grasping the fact people have different opinions.

[-Foxtrot]

Says the guy commenting on my opinion

...

[Ricegum]

Foxtrot

But you're generalising. I bought the game and you've just called me gullible? Fantastic. Stop treating your own opinion as a fact if you have a problem with it then.

[Pongwater]

You're so predictable.

You insult people with a differing opinion then can't take it when someone points it out.

Funny stuff.

[Ravenor]

And you're a wet blanket, what's your point? I wish I could speak with this much self importance when the topic of discussion is video games. Remember what I said about you and your pedestal?

[Nodoze]

There was a full open beta a few weeks ago. Why wait for a review when many people have already PLAYED the game themselves and made up their own mind. I wish more companies would open up their product like Ubisoft did with The Division. It solidified for me that this was a must buy.

[Whirlwind_Fanfare_08]

Who the **** cares about metacritic?

[Utalkin2me]

@EvilAsh

I played the beta and enjoyed it, end of story.

[Silly Mammo]

EvilAsh- you're starting to sound like a gaming hipster.

[JeffGUNZ]

Why would I wait for a review when I played the closed beta and the open beta and loved it? I actually PLAYED it and so did a lot of people before launch and from that experience I went and preordered it. I would much rather PLAY the game before launch and make up my mind then read what some guy I never met, don't know what types of games he prefers, tells me.

[kasino31]

I based my purchase of the game based on youtube posts, the division beta, and twitch streams like many others. with all of those outlets, why would you need a Metacritic review to make a decision for you?

[erthos]

EDIT: My original point has already been made.

[Forn]

Haven't bought it, and probably never will. I'll invest my money and time into other games, thanks.

[n4rc]

Well yay for you.. Lol

[Forn]

Congrats to you for jumping on the hype train though. Sincerely hope you enjoy the game.

:-)

[SoulMikeY]

Forn... if someone likes something, it's automatically the "hype train"? Sounds like an idiotic comment to me. How about you waste these stupid comments on stupid games, like telltale anything, or minecraft, most indie games...

[the_hitman3000]

@Forn I wish I did the same.. :(

[Ricegum]

Did you play the open beta? If you played that you would have pretty much known if you would have liked the game.

[CorndogBurglar]

Why is it so hard for people to understand that the hype train doesn't mean anything when there was a playable beta before launch?

Jumping on the hype train would imply that people buying this game are doing blindly because of the hype surrounding it.

There was a beta that tons of people played. They clearly enjoyed it enough to buy the game on launch day. What is so wrong with that?

Its okay to not like the game, man. But why act like everyone that bought this game are doing it simply out of blind hype? Most of them actually played it and made an educated decision. I wish more games gave us that kind of opportunity.

[Forn]

You're right. I apologize. Something about Ubisoft just makes me mad I guess.

[Nodoze]

So why are you here if you have already determined this is not for you? Just to whine, moan and complain about others who hold differing views on this title?

Ridiculous. Hope you have enjoyed wasting your time.

[Forn]

The only time I'm wasting is responding to you right now. I can't erase my comment, and I apologized. Leave it be.

[kraenk12]

Some people act so immature on this site.

[Forn]

You know who else acts immature? My mom! #RegularShow

[Ravenor]

Are you 12? Honest question, all of this seems like something a child would write. Or a fat guy swimming in self importance.

[Forn]

Sure bud.

[MaxCompiler]

Facepalm...

[mrmonk]

I have played it for a few hours before I have to go to work and I'm really enjoying it havnt went into the dz yet looking forward to that with a few friends. I was on the fence but after the beta I decided to get it and am glad I did.

[Kalebninja]

You know I like how the N4G community was riding the Fallout 4 hype train but now that The Division is doing really well everyone's upset.

[Pongwater]

"...everyone's upset."

Nah it's just the usual few suspects. They've been hating on the game for months and now it's doing well so it's time for them to insult people who like it. They're a predictable bunch.

I love the game. My only complaint about it is some of the "dispatcher" characters are annoying. One is a "mother" type. One is always being sarcastic about the player possibly dying. One is a "new age" type. I don't know why developers feel the need to force humor.

[Heyxyz]

I believe it, as this is the only game, since GTA 5, that almost everyone on my friends list was playing on launch day.

[_-EDMIX-_]

Same. Well Destiny got a lot of play by my friends list along with some of the COD titles, but Division is getting a whooooooooooole lot of play by lots of my list right now.

I decided to not get it as I just don't have the time to really play it and it would make more sense a few weeks later when I have the time as its going to be cheaper then anyway.

I'll watch some of the footage of folks playing it to see whats going on though lol

[danny818]

Is this game fun? I haven't kept up with the hype or previews. Definitely been on my radar since it was announced ages ago lol.

[JeffGUNZ]

Yes. If you like loot games, Third person shooters, and open world games, then yes. It's fun to play lone wolf and it's fun to play with friends. The game is a blast if it's the type of game you're into. Well executed and the visuals are amazing.

[Artemidorus]

That's alot of disappointment and second hand eBay copies coming soon.

[Ravenor]

You're really busy today, what is this the 10th comment about a game you dislike? Why don't you take your oh so high brow and go play those magnificent amazing games you play.

[Artemidorus]

Just seen articles like these overtake the website so felt the need to tell the truth.

If you class this game as amazing then you haven't played games long or don't play many.

[JeffGUNZ]

@ Artemdidorus

Stop. I have been playing games for 25 years and I think this game is amazing. If loot driven games are not your cup of tea, then I can see this not being an "amazing" game for you. Everyone has different tastes in games. I am growing tired of someone not liking a game and posting these childish comments online because someone disagrees. "..I felt the need to tell the truth". What truth is that? Is your opinion truth? Give it a break, will ya? I think this game is great and so do a lot of people. I do understand that this isn't everyones type of game, but I am not going to state my opinion as truth like you do. Understand that just because other people have differing opinions, it doesn't mean they are wrong and you are right. If you think like that you're either; 1. Entitled or 2. Ignorant.

[Ravenor]

It's becoming more and more common with games, it's basically becoming the equivalent of cinema snobs.

[Artemidorus]

I couldn't give two §hits what you are tired of it's a website with an option of discussing articles.

Am I lying when I say people will be disappointed and attempt to sell on EBay? no I am not.

I have played this as a beta twice I have read the reviews and agree it's an average game and nothing special if you don't like what you see on this website then dissappear or ignore it's quite simple.

[JeffGUNZ]

@ Artemdidorus

I respect your opinion, but when you take a stab at other people who really enjoy this game and classify them as either haven't played games long or don't play many, or better yet, state your opinion as the "truth", then that's an issue. I don't care what games you like, you're allowed to like and dislike whatever you please, but you look ignorant when you comment on someones opinion of the game and state your opinion as fact.

[Ravenor]

Now you're putting words in my mouth.

It's not the truth, you just seem to be a contrarian with disparaging opinion. There are lots of video games released every day, how about you put this energy into finding ones you like? This site has plenty of FUD in it, but acting like your feelings on a game invalidates everyone elses? You're just a main page A-Hole.

[Artemidorus]

I didn't even reply to you it was aimed at JeffGUNZ it's who I replied to afterall...

I'm not the one discussing feelings here I suggest you put away that Justin Bieber album....

[Ravenor]

The same thing applies to you, your penchant for posting in The Division article borders on the insane. If you don't like it, by all means ignore us discussing the game and move on to what you do enjoy. But I know what your real goal was, you wanted to post about how high, mighty and above reproach you are, your taste in media all of it impeccable. Your opinion absolute and infallible, surely you're the complete package.

FYI, the games fine. It's above average, it's far from perfect but it's also far from busted. Grow up dude, you sound like a child.

[Cy]

Ah, the wonders of hype and no pre-release reviews.

[kraenk12]

People luckily gave stopped listening to so called professional reviews long ago. General consensus of players and streamers is they love the game!

[Ravenor]

There was a Beta...maybe people based their purchases off of that?

[JeffGUNZ]

Yeah, except the alpha, a closed beta, and an open beta....but sure, the "hype" is what got people to buy it.

[Lennoxb63]

I can't trust other gamers word. Because only 1/3rd of them are genuine. That 3rd either genuinely don't like the game or do like it. Another 3rd just hates a game because of the genre, or other petty reasons. The other 3rd just dislikes a game simply because its from a big company. With this stigma that everything they do is bad.

So I'll just play what I find interesting. And I like the Division.

[nitus10]

It sometime can be difficult to get an unbiased review that is why you really need to go to sites and reviewers with whom you have some semblance of trust. Even then it all comes down to what you like.

Personally I have never liked on-line only games although I do like RPG's. If The Division did not require on-line only then I would be keen on playing the game.

On-line features like what you have in the Souls series I don't mind and IMHO adds to the enjoyment of the game. Oh well I have other RPG's I can play that are not on-line only. Sad really I would of most likely enjoyed single player.

[Dario_DC]

No thanks to me... No way I'm buying this.

[Ricegum]

Congratulations. You show them who's boss lol.

[optimus]

If this is the case than i hope they don't turn it into another assassins creed yearly formula with...SUB-divisions. (see what i did there?) ;p

[hiawa23]

Congrats, Ubi, loved the beta, and enjoying the game. Not bad 2 good Ubi games in the span of a month.

[Legacy212]

Fantastic job game checks off all the right boxes.

[Bass_fisherman]

Its a good game but i will wait for the price drop so that my pals can guy it as well at some point. Uncharted 4 soon...

[d4v0333]

That is great. Very fun game aside from minor issues here and there but which game does not have those issues?

[Tsunade]

I respect that some people like reapeting and repeating the same stuff to loot but I don't like that. That's why nor Destiny or this one is for me.

[DashArrivals]

I'm a day 1 Destiny player (I know, i know, I'm embarrassed enough as it is lol). I played the Division Beta and it was pretty great.

I won't be getting The Division at all. Not because I don't think it's great, I just don't want a game to suck so much 'gaming time' out of me and I can see this game doing just that. I have a backlog of bought games I need to play and upcoming ones I'll want to as well. Like Dark Souls 3, Ratchet & Clank, UC4, and the list goes on. This game is just too much time spending for me. But I wish it all the best.

This game will be massive like Destiny, and it deserves it. I will never play The Division but even I can see its a great game with NEW ideas. I just don't understand why people put so much HATE on things like this.

[DivineAssault]

Im still waiting on reviews before i buy it.. Dropping $100 for a gold edition has to be worth it.. I have it reserved at least..

[kingmushroom]

Meh reviews are garbage and spoiler plagued. They'll spoil this game for you. The only way you'll know if you like it is by playing it, you can always rent it from red box.

[DivineAssault]

Not if i just check out the scores.. Ive been burned before buying games day 1 and not liking them so ill wait a bit to see how this one is

[kingmushroom]

This Game is great and can only get better

[NewAgeisHere]

Sad day for gaming.........horrible game, generic,last-gen graphics and zero innovation........

[Clown_Syndr0me]

Show me a last gen game that looks this good.

[WellyUK]

last gen graphics? PC players are saying it's one of the best looking games ever made... Moron.

[Lamboomington]

'last gen graphics'

You must be blind

[kingmushroom]

Oh ok what ground breaking game did you make?

[Kreisen]

No wonder all these publishers want everything to be multiplayer. You can make a SP game where you kill the same 2 enemies for hours at a time with no story or anything interesting to speak of and people will go "this is stupid", do the same but now add multiplayer and floating damage numbers and its "this is the best game ive ever played".

[WellyUK]

MP games have more longevity and more replay value which ultimately can lead to more profits through DLC's or Micro transactions (They are fine if done right, like Dota 2), the biggest games are the MP games just look at PC top 10 played games are mostly MP games and are consistently in there and have been for years.

SP players just seem to be completely blinded and think anything with MP in is bad and a waste of time when ultimately a MP game can be played for years after release if it's succesful and content released to keep the player base interested. I don't see any SP game with WoW's player numbers 10+ years after release and it's still making millions. Thats why MP games will continue to grow.

[Kreisen]

You shouldnt compare the likes of WoW with these console hybrid you see today, they have nothing in common. And sure there is potential there for these games to grow into something bigger but as of now thats all it is.

Oh and dont get things confused, popularity is not quality.

[User112233]

One of the reasons the game sold so well and how Ubisoft cheated and discriminated their customers (be sure to read the whole thread): forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/ 1376373-Region-Lock-Language-lo ck/

Iam pretty sure 25 dollars off at GameStop helped sell this game.

I did not buy Destiny after playing the alpha and beta a few years back. I didn't have fun with it. but I did play the division beta and was surprised how much fun I was having. if you didn't play the beta then I understand why some people are still debating. but I'm having a blast and my 50 bucks in my opinion has been justified. (if you have amazon prime, you can preorder games and get 20% off automatically for those who may not know :) )

I'm having a blast playing this game with friends, and alone while scavaging for weapon parts, materials etc.

I have been waiting for military style MMO shooter for a long time as I'm not interested in fantasy style MMO i.e. WoW.

To all the Destiny fans, rejoice!!! this game will light a fire under Bungie and Activision's asses. The result will be more content for Destiny and we will have two very cool and different MMO's shooters to play on console.

I pin my games on my Xbox dashboard in order of what I like most. Out of many games I have, The Division leads the pack. Freaking having fun. can't wait for ghost recon!

A new IP from the Tom Clancy line is what people have been wanting.. Im not surprised at all that it sold like crazy.. If it gets good critical feedback, it will sell even more.. Im still deciding if i want it right now or to wait for a sale..
